>We will never live in a parallel world where clean 2t has been invented, meaning we would get 188 WHP, 127kg superbikes that actually cost less to buy and maintain than the 4t of our inferior reality edition.

my first car was super weak shitbox because i thought i need it to burn as little fuel as possible. now i have a miata and i'll never make same mistake (mistake of picking a car because it's economical) again

Why can't we do this in the U.S? Why does everybody need a 1 ton truck to tow the smallest trailers? My grandpa used to have a late 80's model Cadillac sedan deville that they pulled campers with. What changed?

>>18679823>In a truck it can pull 12k pounds. in a sedan it cant pull 2k?It's more than just the engine, it's also about the frame and suspension and how it reacts to pulling something heavy. Trucks have a big beefy frame built for towing.

>>18678898Dealerships seem to do this. I think they do it to keep you coming back. When I first bought my Honda I tried changing the oil and the filter was stuck on. It didn't help that I couldn't get a grip on it because the genuine Honda-brand filter has smooth metal face.

Was doing the first oil change after getting a new car and I ran into this (it’s why I posted). Nigger of a mechanic must have torqued the hell out of the oil plug and filter.... so annoying. I got it off but I almost had to use a breaker bar and not just a ratchet. Happened on my other car when the mechanic did the oil change for my dad the time before. Must be so it’s faster for them... lazy pricks

Really depends on the car. On a stock gen one small block with the cast iron smog era exhaust manifolds u gain up to 70hp switching to good headers according to hotrodders and superChevy. The stock manifold are extremely restrictive

>>18679550Goddamn main shaft speed sensor is busted, and it won't come out with pliers or priers, I changed spark plugs today but I need to get back to this mutilated thing, the chinsy plastic broke off while I was trying to get it out

>>18677326I'm 32, e6 military and have one. It's not really an expensive car. Brand new range Rover on the other hand is fucking unobtainable unless you have a in demand job and good reenlistment money.
